Grief is not something to fix, it’s something to honor.
The depth of our grief reflects the depth of our love, and mourning is a natural response to meaningful connection.
In this thoughtful article by Dr. Alan Wolfelt, he explores why our capacity to grieve exists because we first had the capacity to love.

We honor everyone who has been impacted by cancer, those currently fighting, those we’ve lost, and the families and caregivers who walk beside them every step of the way.

For many, winter can bring a heavier emotional weight, especially for those carrying grief. The season slows us down, sometimes more than we’d like. Even so, some strength is built in stillness.

You may hear the terms viewing and visitation used interchangeably, but they can serve different purposes.
A viewing is typically a quiet time to pay respects in person, while a visitation is often a more open opportunity for family and friends to gather and offer support.
Both are meaningful in their own way.
